This research attempted to address the effect of warm colors as a tool to reduce depression for mentally individuals in Abia State University, Nigeria. Depression symptoms are alarmingly increasing among university students in Abia State, Nigeria. It is seen that in most cases the student’s academic performance, health, and quality of life is negatively impacted as a result of depression. The study was conducted with 50 participants from the Department of Fine/Applied Art, Faculty of Engineering, Environment and Technology in Abia State University, Nigeria. Warm colors instantly conjure up associations with heat, fire, and the sun, so these colors tend to feel more energetic, inviting, cozy, stimulating, passionate, and intimate. Warm colors are red, yellow, orange, gold, beige, creamy neutrals, brown, and tan. Warm colors will always add a sense of calm and security to a space. Additionally, warm colors like orange and yellow are linked to happiness and optimism. Color red was found to induce the most adverse impacts on depression levels, whereas green indicated a comparatively low adverse impact. Blue had the slightest adverse impact on depression with a slightly favourable impact on reducing stress. Depression results from a complex interaction of social, psychological, and biological factors. People who have gone through adverse life events unemployment, bereavement, and traumatic events are more likely to develop depression. Depression can, in turn, lead to more stress and dysfunction and worsen the affected person’s life situation and the depression itself. Worm Colors are made up of reflected lights that hit our retinas as the wavelengths vibrate. Our brain interprets these wavelengths, which ultimately makes our perception of color as a physical and sensory experience. Color therapy is based on the idea that colors create an electrical impulse in our brain, which stimulates hormonal and biochemical processes in our body. These processes either stimulate or calm us.
